Materials

Coating Material | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Epoxy | Epoxy is a super hard coating with maximum electrical insulation. Full range of colors, textures and glosses. Corrosion resistant. | ||
Nylon / Polyamide | Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general-purpose material in wide use; it is tough and resistant and has good pressure ratings. | ||
Polyester | UV resistant; Range of colors, textures and glosses. Corrosion resistant. | ||
Polyethylene (PE) | A semi-crystalline (typically around 50%), whitish, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic that is soft, flexible and tough - even at low temperatures - with outstanding electrical properties but poor temperature resistance. It also has very good chemical resistance but is prone to environmental stress cracking; it has poor UV resistance (unless modified) and poor barrier properties, except to water. | ||
Polyolefin | Maximum weatherability and excellent adhesion. Flexible with impact resistance. Great chemical resistance. | ||
Polypropylene (PP) | Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material exhibiting excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. It is similar to PVC but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone. | ||
Vinyl | Vinyl exhibits good flexibility and chemical resistance; it is used in many medical and chemical applications. | ||
Other | Other unlisted features. | ||

Substrate Material | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Aluminum | A bluish silver-white malleable ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
Copper / Copper Alloys | A common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Copper alloys are specified for applications where superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and good bearing surface qualities are desired. All copper-base alloys are easily plated, brazed, soldered and machined. | ||
Glass | Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates that is usually transparent or translucent. It is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid. | ||
Iron - Cast | The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed. | ||
Lead | Material to be coated is lead. | ||
Metal | Metals and alloys such as steel, copper, stainless steel as well as more exotic alloys such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, or palladium. | ||
Nickel / Nickel Alloys | Nickel and nickel alloys such as such as Monel®, Kovar®, Invar®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, Hastelloy®, and others. Monel, Inconel and Incoloy are registered trademarks of Special Metals Corporation. Kovar and Invar are registered trademarks of Carpenter Technology. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International. | ||
Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
Steel / Steel Alloys | Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content. | ||
Titanium | Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery, element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is known for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. For this reason it is used widely in the aerospace industry and the medical fields (e.g., replacement joints). When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, it adds strength and oxidation resistance. | ||
Zinc | Material to be coated is zinc. | ||
Specialty / Other | Other, specialty, proprietary or unlisted material type. | ||
